LOL one of the loony Trump minions I know who was all over the Steelers' Villanueva on Sunday just posted "Unbelievable! He's apologizing! SMH." on Facebook. One of the responses said he was forced to do that. SMH? Really now.

I thought he also agreed with the people kneeling too. Too bad Fox News.

He did. But all the minions see is that he came out to stand for the anthem. And ZOMG he's a war veteran. I have a lot of respect for him. For going out to the field to stand for the anthem, and for having the stones to say he feels he threw his teammates under the bus.

"The march of players, officials and children into our stadiums and singing of the anthem has been a pre-match tradition since our first game in 1996. The national anthem provides our clubs and fans an important and time-honored opportunity to salute our country and stand up for its principles – whether in the United States or in Canada.

"At the same time, freedom of speech – and the right to peaceful protest – are the hallmarks of both countries. Though we encourage our players to stand during the national anthem, we respect and support their right to express their personal beliefs."

"All players have every right to exercise their Constitutional rights, and we will do everything in our power to defend those rights when they are challenged," reads a portion of the statement. "It is our deepest hope that the solidarity exhibited by professional athletes throughout North America can serve to encourage a more tolerant and less divisive society."

Trump won't waive the Jones Act for PR like he did for Texas and Florida.

Donald Trump doesn't care about brown people.

What a POS these morons are. And a completely horrible reason, too. The excuse being that the ports have too much damage. As if that is permanent.

Checking with family, Ponce is in decent condition, including the roads. So ships can quickly be off loaded and distributed.

I thought it would be hard to hate this group more, but I was wrong. Dump is the leader of a horrible group of people in the executive branch. Worst people ever. They are not just letting people suffer, they are making it worse.

meh... I think that's probably almost all politics. As far as relief goes, DHS and the Joint Chiefs both say that the problem isn't shipping capacity but available working port space. Makes some sense to me. Even if PR ports weren't damaged you have a small port at San Juan and a smaller port at Ponce... I think that's about it. Houston alone probably has 10x or 20x the capacity of PR. Florida 50x or 100x. With PR ports in good working order, I can't see how there's a problem filling them up with available shipping. There's just not that much space, and it's not a long trip out there.

This argues otherwise. The implication is that the Jones Act is a classic colonialist penalty on a captive population. When the Brits did this to us we Tea Partied them.

I doubt Dump did it because they're brown. He rips off white people all the time. I assume TPTB told him "this is how we make our money squeezing these guys" and he said "Understood. But why not just not pay your bills? That's what I do."

Doesn't that article support his point? I should have done further reading on it, but after "it's a large, large ocean" I wasn't expecting much.

What that article does point out is PR continues to get screwed over in its "territory that's not a state that's basically its own country" status.
